I need a quick answer for a customer. What stoneware pieces would fit in an oven the size of 8.5 X 11?? I have a customer that bought the medium bar pan but its too big for her oven. Is there another piece that would fit in her oven besides the small bar pan? I was thinking perhaps the loaf pan or the mini baker. What can you use the mini baker for? I've never seen it. How does it compare is size with the small oval baker? TIA for your help.:)
 
I know there are dimensions on stones in the caddy. I would check there for sure!
 
Stoneware Loaf Pan, 6-cup muffin pan, mini-baker

Possibly the oval baker and small oval baker but I don't have those to measure.
 
What about the Small Round Stone?
 
Too big in diameter it is 10" round and wouldn't fit in a 8.5" x 11"
 
Mini-baker could be used for lots of dips - maybe a cornish hen - crescent rolls - actually anything you'd use a flat stone for in smaller quantities.
 
Sm oval baker is great for toaster ovens.

Is the mini baker big enough to hold a couple of pieces of meat and some veggies?

The mini oval baker only holds 2 cups so I am thinking no.
 
This thread reminds me of the call I had on Friday with a customer looking for things for her toaster oven and microwave as her oven isn't working properly right now.

You could put one piece of meat (chicken, pork chop) and veggies, but not 2 into the mini baker.
 
The oval baker will not fit but the small one should.
